Numerical study of the transition to stripe phases in high-temperature superconductors under a strong magnetic field - art. no. 104501

摘要

The nature of the spin density wave (SDW) and charge density wave (CDW) in the mixed state of high-T-c superconductors (HTS) is investigated by using the self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations and an effective model Hamiltonian with competing SDW and d-wave superconductivity interactions. We show that there exists a critical on-site Coulomb interaction U-c. For optimally doped sample, two-dimensional SDW and CDW modulations are induced for UU-c. These stripe orders are stabilized and enhanced near the vortex cores. The wavelengths of the AF stripes and charge stripes are found respectively to be 8a and 4a, with a as the lattice constant. We show that our results could be applied to understand several recent experiments on HTS. [References: 25]
